Tekken 7 Confirmed at Madrid Event

Tekken 6 made headlines in 2009, mostly because it was released on something other than a PlayStation consoles. However, the fighting game has a long history, and it was almost certain that we’d see a new version at some point.

That point appears to be sometime soon, as Eurogamer.pt reports (via that translated link) that Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada has announced a seventh edition in the series at an event in Madrid.

No real information is available about the title yet, but I am sure we’ll hear more about with E3 looming large just 3 weeks away. Then again, Tekken 6 was first announced at E3 2005, and didn’t hit consoles until last year. We’ll just have to see.

If we hear anything more from Namco, we’ll pass it directly along to you.

What is the hell wrong with you people!? I think Tekken 6 is a great game! I would love to have Azazel still in Tekken, also hopefully could play Azazel

to be honest,i’m not really excited about this game. Actually i’m waiting for tekken tag 2. But i hope they keep christie. She’s my best character. Plus i wanna see what happens next now that her grandpa is dead!

I’am not and have never been much of a Tekken fan but I do personally like Heihachi, Jun(I really hope she appears in Tekken 7), Asuka, Emilie/Lili, Miguel, Feng Wei and Dragunov. Always personally liked these characters so I can look forward to Tekken 7 for that reason alone.
